Map of Pittsburgh Public Art
This fascinating reflection of our city
was commissioned by the Heinz Foundation in 2008 and started out downtown.
In 2013 it was restored and relocated to an indoor location at the
airport.
We found this quote from the artist on
pittsburghartplaces.org :
“Literally
and metaphorically, Arch is a bridge between Pittsburgh’s past,
present, and future: from the immigrants constructing bridges to
navigate the terrain, to the steel industry and the rise of
industrialism, to the robotics industry and advanced technology that
exist today fueling hope for the future. Arch is an iconic figure
that embodied that narrative, a materialization of a concept and a
starting point for new memories to be created from the fragments of
old histories.”
Several different styles of bridges are used in the sculpture, reflecting some of the many styles around the city. See how many you can find.
